Re: New Gearset High Pitched Squeal

Gm shop manual has a spec for bearing preload, new and used, i haven't looked it up in a while but its there.

Too much preload is not usually a problem, i have overshot the preload many times and they run out fine, the bearings are relatively large and in a gear oil bath at all times so they can take a lot of load.
High pitched squeal now that i think about it sounds like stamped steel rubbing on Something, could the oil slinger on the pinion flange be rubbing on something?

I also had a driveshaft carrier bearing oil slinger get loose and make a squealing sound once.
